Among the largest works of their kind on any campus, Penn State’s Land-Grant Frescoes, by Henry Varnum Poor, grace the upper walls of Old Main’s Land-Grant Foyer and pay tribute to the founding of the University and the evolution of its land-grant mission of teaching, research, and service. The restoration of the frescoes recently received an award from the Centre County Historical Society.

Lila (Whoolery) Mercatoris, a December 1942 Penn State graduate, the University's first female gymnast -- an unofficial member of the men's gymnastics team before there was a women's team -- and "the girl in the blue leotard" in Henry Varnum Poor's Land-Grant Frescoes in Old Main, visited University Park Wednesday (May 5) to revisit her plaster-painted likeness.
